Hungary approves Finland's NATO membership, Sweden's bid uncertain.

Hungary's parliament has approved a bill allowing Finland to join NATO once its application has been ratified by all 30 members of the alliance, ending months of foot-dragging by the ruling Fidesz party on the matter. Finland and Sweden asked to join the trans-Atlantic military alliance last year in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Although Finland's bid has now been approved, the Swedish bill is still stranded in the Hungarian parliament.
